And the conviction is strong even though I’m fully cognisant that it’s based on anecdotal evidence, a sample of one person’s experience, and is possibly subject to a litany of confirmation biases. Upon investigating this further, I’ve discovered a sample of recent psychological research suggesting that gut instinct, or “intuition”, plays a far larger role in decision making than previously thought.…
